Bhalerao (IITB) report on behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the field of GRB 230414B (D'Ai et al. GCN 33612; and Evans et
al. GCN 33613) using the TANSPEC mounted at the axial port of the 3.6m
Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT) of ARIES Nainital. We have taken multiple
frames with an exposure time of 300 sec each in r, and i filters on
2023-04-14 and successive nights. We clearly detect the optical afterglow
